Tonights Camden Live session was broadcast live on Radio 1 from The Underworld. Billed as 'Pete Tong featuring Special Guests' the ticket has confused me for some time as my notes never made mention of Pete Tong. But having looked into the night online to try and work it out it seems that the evening … Continue reading GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995

GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
It was The Camden Crawl - a week of gigs from both established, new, and up-and-coming artists playing a variety of venues in Camden Town. There were a lot of music venues in Camden so it was a pretty busy schedule. I'd picked up tickets for a couple of the gigs, plus was going to … Continue reading GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
This was almost a dream line-up for me. Three of my favourite industrial bands all on the same bill - and finally my first time seeing Front Line Assembly live! To say I was in my element on this Sunday is probably a big understatement. I'd been out clubbing all night for a friends (Stacy) … Continue reading GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
GIG 242: Intastella – Camden Palace, 24th October 1995
Fresh from an evening of the rap-metal of Clawfinger in Highbury I travelled northward to Mornington Cresent to head into Camden Palace for Feet First. It was always great to see my Feet First family, and quite a lot of them were in attendance this evening. The live band at midnight was often an interruption … Continue reading GIG 242: Intastella – Camden Palace, 24th October 1995
GIG 241: Clawfinger / Send No Flowers – The Garage, 24th October 1995
Tuesday night was usually Feet First at Camden Palace. Tonight was going to be no different, but before I hit Camden I was going to my first gig at The Garage in Highbury to see Swedes Clawfinger. This was my fourth time seeing Clawfinger live, and this time they were supported by a band called … Continue reading GIG 241: Clawfinger / Send No Flowers – The Garage, 24th October 1995
GIG 240: Die Krupps / Waltari / Leech Woman – LA2, 18th October 1995
Die Krupps rolled back into town, heading the LA2. I'd seen them twice before, both times back in 1994. The first time headlining their own gig at The Underworld in Camden (GIG 153), and then six months later supporting Paradise Lost at The Astoria (GIG 180). Despite being advertised Econoline Crush weren't supporting, which was … Continue reading GIG 240: Die Krupps / Waltari / Leech Woman – LA2, 18th October 1995
GIG 239: Apes, Pigs & Spacemen / Disciplin A Kitschme – Camden Palace, 17th October 1995
Tuesday night rolled around and Camden Palace beckoned. I was already in Camden as I'd sepnt the afternoon with a friend of mine, Jess, looking at pubs for sale (and an old church) as we were looking at starting up a themed pub where you could go and play games. It'd have 'themed' food & … Continue reading GIG 239: Apes, Pigs & Spacemen / Disciplin A Kitschme – Camden Palace, 17th October 1995
GIG 238: The Australian Doors – Brixton Academy, 14th October 1995
October seemed to be the month that The Australian Doors Show crossed the planet and toured the UK. I'd seen them in October 1993 (GIG 132), October 1994 (GIG 186), and now was seeing them for a third time in, yep, October 1995. There was a nice group of us that met up in Brixton … Continue reading GIG 238: The Australian Doors – Brixton Academy, 14th October 1995
GIG 237b : The Chemical Brothers, HMV Oxford Street, 12th October 1995
I've included this one here as a 'b-side' gig - as it wasn't really a gig per se, more of a live instore performance. I knew it was happening so had headed down to the massive HMV record store on Oxford Street in central London for the 1pm start. I was already a fan of … Continue reading GIG 237b : The Chemical Brothers, HMV Oxford Street, 12th October 1995
